It seems from the IC's advice that fixed cameras (which cannot zoom in) may
not be subject to DPA so there may be nothing you have to do in terms of that
law. Your policy would therefore be unlike that of most councils. If the
cameras are obvious (not the ones disguised as street lamps) you may not even need
to consider RIPA. As such, your policy and procedures will be simple,
internal, ones such as who is allowed to give the tapes to police officers. You may
want to decide how long to keep the tapes (forever, if you like) and where
they will be kept. No-one will be able to apply for subject access, so you need
not have any provision for that.
